Help with spell

[rafaxik]

Hi there... I was trying to create a spell that summons a Wisp to drain life and mana from enemies around him whenever his enemies stays in his range. Then it give all life and mana obtained and give it to the hero that summoned it in life and mana, respectively.

It's just like a wisp to cast multiple siphon mana (and life) in creatures. If a creature get into the range, it also gets caught by wisp's spells...

Level 1 - Drains 10 life and 12 mana per second each unit, transfers 50 % of total drained;

Level 2 - Drains 15 life and 18 mana per second each unit, transfers 60 % of total drained;

Level 2 - Drains 20 life and 26 mana per second each unit, transfers 70 % of total drained.

I tried it with a bunch of stuff and it didn't work...

I doubt it can be useful, but I tried some triggers (ps: I don't understand well ahshtables, but I tried =/):

I've tried, with this trigger, to suck only mana, just to see if it works... And Divine shield it's just to create a visual effect, but I know that it could also be triggered by

• Special Effect - Create special effect on target unit using my model

.


If someone can help me, I appreciate that.


Thx

EDIT 01: I Forgot to say that, the created wisp dummy is called dummy02 with wisp model and dummy01 is just another dummy with no model
EDIT 02: Map too big =/

Anyone...?

if you want, I could probably do this without hashtables, i dont understand hashtables well either

if not, what doesnt work? if it doesnt work period, then its the condition

Heres what you can do, do this, A unit starts the effect of an ability, ability being cast == to (ability) and then do last summoned unit, I think theres an option for that, if not that then last created unit
if you want me to do it without hashtables, attach the map

Map Size is too big for the forum =/
it exceeds 3 mb...

For your question, there are leaks I can't see where, maybe I put in the wrong position, Idk.
I cast the spell, and it channels a few siphon mana, doesn't work for all enemies around the wisp. And it works, at most, twice...
It removes all mana points from my caster and don't give any of mana/hp drained from the targets to him.
